I was half in love with her by the time we sat down.
That's the thing about girls.
Every time they do something pretty...
you fall half in love with them,
and then
you never know where the hell you are.

I know you're somewhere out there, somewhere far away

was trying to clear the mind off some things
went to Tesco first to buy healthy food & snacks for myself who is OED (on extreme diet) haha


oats, raisins to eat with the oats, fruits, pitted prunes & low fat milk
uber healthy, right? :p


at the cafe with one of my fav drink, a magazine & a novel
was craving for some starbucks & some quality time alone
got it, but still want want more of it


the mall was full of big gigantic signs of SALE tags here & there
I was closing my eyes while walking trying hard not to buy into their persuasion
so cruel!

2. Add the chicken & carrots. Fry it till it is half-cooked.

This recipe makes about 12-15 small pies (depends on how thick your crust is).

For the bottom crust, after you have placed it in the muffin baking tray, you bake it first for 15 minutes.
Then you take it out, put in the filling and cover the top with the dough.
Make designs such as leafs with the left-over dough.
Glaze the top with egg yolk to make it prettier.
180C for about 20 minutes or until it is golden brown.

8-inch chicken pie


Have a go in making & baking it, it's pretty simple & tastes so good :)
